Game Rules

Overview

GDice is a dice game for 1–4 players using 5 standard dice (faces 1–6). Players take turns recording scores in each category on the scorecard. The player with the highest total score wins.

Turn Flow

Each turn a player gets 3 rolls:

1. First roll — roll all 5 dice.
2. Second roll — hold any dice, re-roll the rest (may re-roll all 5).
3. Third roll — same as second.

After any roll the player may record a score. If scored after the first roll, combination scores are doubled (school scores are never doubled).

Scorecard

The scorecard has two sections: School (upper) and Combinations (lower).

School (Upper Section)

Six categories, one per face value: Ones, Twos, Threes, Fours, Fives, Sixes.

• You pick a grade indicating how many dice matched that face value:
  • C = 2 dice
  • B = 3 dice
  • A = 4 dice
  • S = 5 dice
• Score = face value × number of dice (e.g. Fours with grade B = 4 × 3 = 12)

Graduation bonus (+50 pts): Awarded only if ALL three conditions are met:

1. All 6 school categories are filled (no empty slots)
2. Every category has at least grade C (2+ dice)
3. School subtotal ≥ 63 points

Combinations (Lower Section)

#	Name	What you need	Max
1	Pair	2 of a kind	12
2	Two Pairs	2 + 2 of a kind	22
3	Triangle	3 of a kind	18
4	Square	4 of a kind	24
5	Poker	5 of a kind	30
6	Full House	3 of a kind + 2 of a kind	28
7	Small Straight	1-2-3-4-5	15
8	Big Straight	2-3-4-5-6	20
9	Summa	Any 5 dice	30

• Full House: The triple is scored first, then the pair. Order matters.
• Summa: Acts as a "chance" — any roll counts, score = sum of all 5 dice.
• Max values shown are before doubling.

Scoring Mechanics

• Double: Any combination (not school) score is doubled when scored on the first roll (see Turn Flow).
• Strike out: Any category can be struck out (❌) for 0 points, useful when you can't fill it.
• Reset: Clears the current dice selection so you can start over or strike out instead.

Winning

Total score = school subtotal + graduation bonus (if earned) + all combination scores. Highest total wins.

Local Dev

nvm use
npm install

Reproducible Deployment Verification

Docker runs a clean Node 24 install, the unit and Playwright suites, the production Vite build, and nginx with SPA fallback:

docker compose up --build
# http://localhost:4173/

Stop with Ctrl+C, then remove the local container and network:

docker compose down

Deployment Environments

• Production: main branch with DEPLOY_ENV=prod.
• DEV: dev branch with DEPLOY_ENV=dev.
• Production remains indexable. DEV emits robots.txt with Disallow: / and a noindex,nofollow,noarchive meta tag.
• DEPLOY_ENV is build configuration, not a secret. An unset value defaults to production; unsupported values fail the build.
• DigitalOcean App Platform build: npm ci && npm run build; output: dist; catch-all document: index.html.

To verify the DEV image:

$env:DEPLOY_ENV = 'dev'
docker compose up --build
